Abstract excerpt
Adenovirus 36 (Ad-36) is related to human obesity due to its adipogenic activity mediated by the early 4 open reading frame 1 (E4orf1) protein. Mechanisms underlying the adipogenic effect of E4orf1 are not completely understood; however, the proliferation and differentiation of fat cells are increased through the activation of the phosphatidyl inositol 3 kinase pathway by binding proteins containing PDZ domain....
